The Summer Bake Begins

We have a slight chance of a thunderstorm later today and if we get it, be thankful. The summer bake begins tomorrow. The GFS time-height section for Salt Lake City International Airport shows bone dry conditions for the next week after midnight tonight. Temperatures will be at or above seasonal averages during the period.

The mountains were spectacularly green and lush this past weekend. Get out and enjoy before everything dries out.
